The analysis of the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ

1. What Is Blood According to God?

Genesis 2:7: God formed man from the dust and breathed into him the breath of life.
The blood, breath, and Spirit of God are what make humans live, move, think, speak, and act.
John 4:24: “God is Spirit.” His Spirit works in all creation—plants, animals, seas, and even the smallest creatures.

Key point: Blood is not just a body fluid. To God, blood is life itself.

Science describes blood as a body fluid that carries oxygen, nutrients, and waste.
It has four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Blood types determine transfusion compatibility.
But science can only describe blood physically, not spiritually. It cannot create true blood, only artificial substitutes that cannot give life.

Key point: The world sees blood scientifically, but not spiritually.

Genesis 9:4–6: After the flood, God allowed man to eat flesh but commanded not to eat blood, because blood is life.
Leviticus 17:11: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls.”
Deuteronomy 12:23: “The blood is the life.”
Even the blood of Abel cried to God from the ground (Genesis 4:10).

Key point: God values blood as sacred, because it represents life, which belongs to Him.

Key point: Only a perfect, sinless blood could fully reconcile man to God.

John 6:53–56: Jesus said we must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have eternal life.
His blood, shed on the cross, is the atonement for our sins.
Unlike the blood of animals, His sacrifice was perfect and once for all (Hebrews 9:11–28).
By faith, we partake in His blood and are born again (John 3:3–8).

Key point: The blood of Jesus is God’s ultimate provision for salvation.

Redemption from the power of the devil (Ephesians 1:7).
Forgiveness of sins (1 John 1:7–9).
Justification and righteousness before God (Romans 5:9).
Access into God’s presence (Hebrews 10:19–20).
Sanctification and holiness (Hebrews 13:12).
Cleansed conscience and freedom to serve God (Hebrews 9:14).
Victory over the devil (Revelation 12:11).

Key point: The blood of Jesus changes everything for those who believe.

In Gethsemane: redemption from rebellion (Luke 22:42).
From the crown of thorns: redemption from the curse (Genesis 3:18; Matthew 27:29).
From scourging: healing for spirit, soul, and body (Isaiah 53:5).
From the nails on the cross: eternal salvation and freedom from judgment (Romans 8:1–2).

Key point: Every drop of His blood speaks redemption.

God’s command not to eat blood was given to Noah before Israel existed. It was for all humanity.
Yet Satan deceived the world into thinking it applied only to the Jews.
Many Christians today ignore this command, just as Adam and Eve disobeyed in Eden.

Key point: God’s covenant about blood applies to all nations, not only Israel.

Believers must recognize the seriousness of blood in God’s eyes.
We must honor both the command not to eat blood and the saving blood of Jesus Christ.
The blood of Christ is life, protection, and power for those who believe.

The blood of Jesus paid the ransom for our sins and reconciled us to God.
His blood purifies us from sin and brings us into God’s presence.
His sacrifice was once for all—perfect and final.
The blood of Jesus empowers us to live holy, fruitful lives.
As believers, we are called to walk in His truth, honor His covenant, and proclaim His salvation to the world.
